Orchid Farm

Thailand is a huge producer of orchids. This is a pretty small farm, maybe .25 acre. Grown on racks without soil, the plants will produce for about 5 years before they have to pull them out and start over. Most go to the flower market in Bangkok but the best - which have to be grown under cover - go by plane overnight to the world's largest flower market in Aalsmeer, Holland.
